Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the Catholic Church. It is used because Christ's Vicar has been in Rome since St. Peter went there and was buried there. The Catholic Church was an institution founded by Christ for the salvation of souls. There are many rites of Catholic Church, all of which believe in the same things, but only differ in the way they do things. There is also the Byzantine Catholic Church, the Coptic Church, the Ethiopian Church etc. All of them are ONE CHURCH but have separate divisions. The Catholic Church is essentially built on Jewish belief, though not dependent on it. The Latin Rite Church (sometimes referred to {incorrectly} as the "Roman Rite") has incorporated whatever good things of Roman culture into it (eg. types of vestments)
